You can try. You have to specify the right format in the file options dialog, and you have to name the file just right else you'll get weirdness.

It's worth a shot. I'll try with my next upload.

To anyone interested: It works. I uploaded a custom-made animated .gif with my latest movie, and it appeared as the preview. There are no dark or redundant frames, and the file I made is smaller than many archive preview images..
